Well just stop to consider that every year that goes by means another old m/c turns 100.   By 2075 we'll be covered up in 100 year old bikes!  Of course our great grandkids may not be allowed to ride them since the over protective government will have outlawed them because they don't have full safety harness, michelin man inflatable suits and all the squids on the road have cheesed off the soccer moms & dads into treating their kids like hot house tomatoes.  Oh excuse me, I think that qualified as a rant.

But seriously, just keep looking and they will keep turning up.  Think of all the public storage sheds out there.... ;)

The rest of the story. Be sure to check out some of the very interesting links on the side of the page for some other old bikes.
